Private Porec and Rovinj

The best way to experience local life up close is to visit two lovely Istrian towns and get to know them on foot with your guide.

Head to the pearl of Istria - the historic town of Porec (approximately 1 hour each way) . Walk around the Old City, which was formerly a Roman castrum, with your guide to explore a range of Romanesque structures that represent the town's rich history. You will have the opportunity to tour the lobby, atrium, and bell tower of the Basilica Euphrasiana, one of Porec's most well-known structures from the sixth century. Enjoy some free time to explore the town further or relax and enjoy your surroundings, before rejoining your guide for the journey to Rovinj.

The tiny fishing village of Rovinj has transformed into one of the most picturesque tourist destinations in the Mediterranean. One of Istria's most exquisite examples of Baroque architecture is found in the main Church of St. Euphemia, which also houses the saint's remains. The format of the streets from the medieval era has been preserved, and while you explore the town on a guided walking tour, your guide will give you a taste of local life through the decades.

Once your tour concludes you will return to the port of Rijeka.
